Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Kuat hitch lock for two inch hitches. So whether you need to replace the hitch lock that came with your bike rack or maybe you're upgrading from a hitch pin that did not have a lock at the end, this is going to be the part for you. So first, make sure you get the right part for the right bike rack. So this is designed to be used with a two inch shank versions of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0, Kuat Transfer 2.0 or Kuat NV 2.0. So if you happen to have the inch and a quarter version, even if you use an adapter, you need the inch and a quarter hitch pin instead. This includes the hitch pin and the lock.

And if you do have the inch and a quarter version, that's actually okay because the lock is interchangeable. So this fits into that inch and a quarter hitch pin or the two inch hitch pin and provides that security at the end. So this is designed as either a replacement part, we have the older hitch lock for our Kuat Sherpa that came with the bike rack here or this can be used as an upgrade. So we have the Kuat high/low adaptor that did not include a lock and we want one to make sure our whole system is protected. So here are the changes to the design.

You do have a larger barrel, but it is interchangeable as we saw earlier. I do like the improvement to the dust cap design. So this clicks into place versus the rubber dust cap that the old hitch lock had. We kind of have to push it in, get in place, a little bit more of a hassle. With the keys in, we're in the ready to load position, but you cannot take the keys out.

You have to lock the barrel in order to remove the keys. And because the barrel is now in the locked position, you are unable to put that hitch lock in there. And that's good because then you don't accidentally lock your hitch lock without having your keys on hand. So now with the keys in the barrel and it's in the unlocked position, I just need to get the hitch lock, push either the barrel onto the lock or the pin onto the barrel and now you are secure. I'm not fiddling around making sure it's all lined up.

I can just go and tighten down my bike rack. So the dimensions of this pin is for the diameter, it's gonna be a half inch pin and then for the length of the pin, it's gonna be five and three quarter inches long. Now the span, which is your usable pin length, is measured from the barrel to inside the pin and that measurement is going to be three and a half inches. Included with your hitch pin and your lock, is also a little burlap bag where you can store things in. You have your two keys, this is keyed alike and you have a little bottle opener key chain. This right here was a look at the Kuat hitch lock version four, for your Kuat bike rack with two inch shanks at etrailer.com. My name is Evangeline and I hope you enjoy the journey.

  • Recommended Kuat Bike Rack For Volvo XC40 With 2 Inch HItch
    Hi Frannie, Awesome choice going with a Kuat rack, they make not only high-quality racks, but ones that look superb as well. And for the specific rack for you and your Volvo, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 for its unique combo of function, ease of use, and style. The Sherpa 2.0 even comes in your choice of colors: - Gray: Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22G - Black: Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22B - Pearl: Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22P One of the best things about the Sherpa 2.0...

  • Recommended Replacement Lock Cores and Hitch Lock for the Kuat NV Base 2.0
    Rabecca, to replace your hitch lock on your Kuat NV Base 2.0 you can use the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks # HL2, and to replace the other 3 lock cores you can use the Replacement Lock Cores for Kuat Cargo Carriers and Bike Racks # LOCO4. To replace the lock cores, you will just need to use the included change key to remove the old lock and then you'll be able to install the new cores.

    Using the JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 along with the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR will be taller than using the Yakima RailBar Crossbars # Y00432-0433 for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack but you do need to note that every roof rack manufacturer states that a sun or moon roof should not be used with a roof rack installed. Roof racks do have some wind noise which the aero style bars, although cause less noise, are not immune from. There is also the issue of clearance as well as possible...

    Hey Solomon. You can indeed get a replacement hitch pin lock for your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack item # NV22B but you'll need to replace the other two lock cores to have all three of the keys match. I do not have a way to get you a hitch pin lock that matches your key.

  • Travel Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Recommendations for Back of Trailer
    Thanks for reaching out! I recommend checking out the Stromberg Carlson Adjustable Accessory Hitch Receiver # SC45MR for your travel trailer. Hitches like this are universal fits so you just need to make sure the frame of your trailer is in the 49-1/2" to 76-1/2" Wide range and then you can install this hitch using a bolt-on or weld-on method - whichever you're more comfortable with. I'm attaching a dimensional photo for you to reference. Then for a bike rack I recommend the Kuat Transfer...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 4 Bikes on a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    The 175 lb tongue weight rating is what I'm seeing in the owner's manual for your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid as well, so even though the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13416 has a tongue weight rating of 600 lbs, the 175 lb rating of your vehicle is the limiting factor so we'll want to choose a bike rack according to that rating instead. The Thule T2 Pro X # TH26ZE does weigh in at just over 100 lbs so for a lighter alternative I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU77FR. This weighs in at 73 lbs, can...

  • Proper Hitch Lock for the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack
    I'm happy to inform you that the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks, part # HL2, is indeed compatible with your Transfer V2 Rack, part # KU24FR.

  • Best Mid-Range Platform Wheel Mount Bike Rack with Locks
    The RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10004 is a solid choice for a bike rack and I'd go with it over the Curt Bike Rack # C89JR (the same as 18088) any day of the week. Curt isn't a huge bike rack manufacturer so I'm not very confident in their recreational products to be honest - when it comes to towing though, Curt is right at the top with others. In regards to bikes wobbling this shouldn't be the case if they were installed properly. You might see the bike rack wobble some during travel but...

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Kuat Transfer 2 Platform Bike Rack
    I have a solution for you, but because bike racks like your Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR have a threaded shank, you can't use a generic anti-rattle hitch pin like the # 63232. Instead, Kuat has a specific threaded hitch pin designed to work on their bike racks with the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This anti-rattle device is compatible with your # KU84FR or similar Kuat rack. I've linked a short review video of this locking hitch pin for you to have a look at.

  • Is Kuat Transfer V2 a Good Bike Rack for 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon and Standard Bikes
    The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR is one of my absolute favorite bike racks so I definitely recommend going that route as long as neither of your bikes has a front fender. Since the ratcheting arm comes down on the tire next to the front forks it would damage a fender. This rack comes with a cable lock for the bikes but if you'd like to lock the rack to your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon then you just need the Hitch Lock # HL2.

    The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU84FR comes with a tamper-resistant bolt that tightens the carrier to a 2" receiver and you need to use the included security wrench to remove or install. So it technically does come with some sort of a locking device, but for more security to deter theft you can add Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This will do a better job of actually locking the bike rack to the hitch receiver. Make sure you have...

  • Recommended Hitch Lock for Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack
    Kuat offers two different hitch locks, the # HL1 for the # B202-114 Beta that's designed for the 1-1/4 inch receiver and the # HL2 lock that's designed for the # B202-2 Beta rack that's designed for the 2 inch receiver. If the correct lock is used for the correct rack, no alterations of any kind will be necessary (we don't recommend altering the rack in any way, as it will compromise your warranty protection.)

    The only trailer hitch that is currently available for your 2018 Mini Countryman is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 which is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. Even though it is the only fit at this time it is still a great trailer hitch that has a very clean look once installed due to the crossbeam being hidden behind the bumper (see attached photo). Please note that since this is a Class I trailer hitch you are limited to a 2 bike rack and that per the Curt warranty...

  • Replacement Hitch Pin Solution for Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack
    To replace the hitch pin of your Kuat NV Bike Rack you will need to use the part # HL2, which includes both the pin and lock core (plus 2 keys). The pin unfortunately is not available by itself from Kuat as a separate part. There isn't one from a different manufacturer that will fit their lock core either.

The bike racks are secured to the vehicle in different ways, thus the incompatibility.

  • Will 47.4 Inch Wheelbase Bike Fit Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack
    You could probably get your bike to fit the 47" max wheelbase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22G but it wouldn't fit as snug as it should. Kuat has done a great job at testing their products and so anything over that 47" wheelbase it pushing the limits. Instead of trying to push the limits of the Sherpa 2.0 I recommend going with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR because it has a 50" max wheelbase so your bike will fit the bike rack like it was meant to.

The only difference between this part and the one you referenced is that H101-004 has a specific code, 004. The reason for this is simply a change in part numbers, and a specific code will not be able to be ordered.

  • Preventing The Kuat Hitch Lock Rattle Inside a Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack While Driving
    Since the Hitch Lock # HL2 does not fit snuggly inside the 2" receiver when using your Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack # BA22B, I recommend pushing the rack in tightly to your receiver before you tighten down on the anti-rattle knob. This will remove the excess play that is caused by the 1/2" hitch lock securing the bike rack in a 5/8" opening.

For your Kuat Sherpa 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4 Inch and 2 Inch Hitches, you will want the Kuat Bike Rack Hitch Lock # HL1 or # HL2. This will include both a new hitch pin and new lock with keys. We do not offer just the pin by itself to fit your original lock.
